Berre Vanduffel vs Thian De Vries

Tilburg – 26 September 2026

On Saturday 26 September 2026, Enfusion delivered an evening of spectacle, hard-hitting knock-outs, title fights and strong performances in Tilburg. From the opening bouts right through to the main event, the crowd remained captivated.

One of the most memorable moments of the evening came from Dani Regter, who was fighting his final bout in the B class. Regter made a statement straight away. In the second round, he landed a hard knee on his opponent, sending him crashing to the canvas. An impressive end to his time in the B division.

The four-man tournament also provided plenty of excitement. Anouar Afakir fought his way through the tournament impressively and was ultimately able to take the coveted belt home with him. An achievement that rounded off his evening perfectly.

Berre Vanduffel

Berre Vanduffel also emerged victorious from his title fight. Vanduffel once again demonstrated why he ranks amongst the top names in Enfusion and was able to pose with the championship belt afterwards.

The MMA bout also added some extra variety to the evening. Moreover, there was a well-known Dutch guest amongst the audience: Najib Amhali. The comedian also proved to be a fan of combat sports and was clearly enjoying the spectacle in Tilburg.

Thian De Vries (TARZAN)

The absolute highlight of the evening was the bout between Thian de Vries and Ulric Modju Bokeme. As we’ve seen De Vries do on numerous occasions, he wasted no time. He applied pressure right from the start and landed a blow as early as the first round.

The referee was forced to step in and stop the bout, meaning De Vries once again won by TKO.

With this victory, Thian “Tarzan” de Vries takes his impressive record to 36 wins, no fewer than 32 of which have come by knockout.

An evening of spectacular finishes, champions, tournament victories and yet another compelling main event made Enfusion Tilburg an event that the martial arts fans in attendance are unlikely to forget in a hurry.

In addition, an important MMA world title bout is on the programme. Jahfaro Gezius will face Berre Vanduffel in a title fight in the 77-kilogram division. Agy Sardari versus Ahmet Rasim Pala is also on the card as a professional MMA bout.
